In all the years that I have been quilting, I have only made one Red and White Quilt. It was a commissioned quilt in 1997 and the only one I ever sold.
It's been cold here in the south, but this is the only snow we have at our house :-)
Keeping the plate clean on your iron can be troublesome at times.
My biggest problem appears to be the plate seems scorched in places. 
Using a damp Magic Eraser (that I use to wipe away marks on my painted walls) I found that it also works on removing every mark on the iron faceplate. I had to use a little more pressure on the indention's as they were well baked onto the faceplate. 
Clean iron!! Not much sewing going on over the holidays. But when I need a creative boost, I always start making pillowcases for Ryans Case for Smiles.
You remember yummy Girl Scout cookies? Its that time again. If you have any interest in purchasing Girl Scout cookies, please leave a comment and I will send you the Girl Scout link. They can be shipped anywhere in the continental US. This helps my little granddaughter reach her goal.
Taking a little break from sewing, I thought I would share a simple soup recipe to warm us up during these cold days.
If you want to warm your tummy with a fast and delicious bowl of soup, try this quick and easy recipe.This will not be easy to compile. I had so many to choose from.
But I figured the best way was to just list them all.
As we embark on yet another New Year, there are uncertainties that lie ahead. The Lord does not send out a calendar of events that will happen in life. We are more likely to be taken by surprise as the story unfolds. God, in His great goodness, knew that we could not handle knowing what each day would bring. So we step out in faith, facing each day as a new adventure. However, our loving Father is not ignorant of each step. Even when we cannot feel His presence, He is with us.
